Villa of Jan Náhlovský, Modernist villa in Bubeneč, Czech Republic

Villa of Jan Náhlovský stands at Suchardova 2, čp. 284, in Prague-Bubeneč, with its garden facing U Vorlíků street. Slovak architect Dušan Jurkovič designed it in 1907 in a reserved British-influenced modernist manner with folk elements; builder Jan Pacl completed it in 1907–1908. Its plan resembles Jurkovič's own Brno villa, with bay windows and loggias around the perimeter, a projecting entrance, coloured ornamental details, and a raised central bay above the saddle roof ending in a rounded gable.

Dušan Jurkovič designed the villa in 1907 for JUDr. Jan Náhlovský, a lawyer and co-founder of the Czechoslovak Statistical Office, and his wife Luisa. Prague builder Jan Pacl carried out the construction, including craftwork and the garden layout, in 1907–1908. Jurkovič drew on reserved British models such as Charles Mackintosh's work rather than his usual folk motifs.

Jurkovič drew on folk building for the projecting entrance and the coloured ornamental details, while the plan follows his own villa in Brno. The interior was not realised as designed: his scheme for the furniture was never carried out, so the rooms were furnished otherwise.

The villa stands at Suchardova 2, čp. 284, in Prague 6–Bubeneč, with its garden facing U Vorlíků street. It is a private home still used for housing, so visitors see it from the street and garden side only. The owners restored the roof, facade, windows, doors and garden including the garden pavilion.

Jurkovič based the villa's floor plan on his own house in Brno, but here he adapted it to a reserved British-influenced style, citing the Scottish architect Charles Mackintosh. The builder Jan Pacl carried out the construction, crafts and garden work in 1907–1908.
